Yes, you are right, i have flashed it when i have the kangvipslim rom v1 on my Huawei Mate 8 AL-10.

I think this is a little the fault ot this thread too, because i didn't saw nothing in the tittle and in the beginning of this thread here, saying that this kernel is only for Mate 8 phones that have already an B321 rom installed.

After a lot of work of reading the mate 8 forum, and "almost" 2 night's without sleep, and with a lot of problems of booting, enter twrp, enter bootloader, etc... in my Mate 8, i was able to flash the B321 Twisted Mate 8 ROM, thank's god :)

Thank'you all of you in xda-developers for your hard job.

Okay time for a stupid question, what does the decrypted boot.img do?

Sent from my NEXT
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] jbmc83:
it doesnt force encryption on the data partition, so u dont have to format it every time u flash a new stock rom. also, ive made the experience that the phone doesnt boot after flashing supersu, unless i also flash the insecure boot image. additionally to all that, the boot image also contains the rom kernel, so when i crossflash to an L29 rom i need to separately flash a current al10 boot image in order to stay up to date kernelwise ;)

Hi everyone.

After flash from B180 the stock B320 rom i flash twrp4.1 and a custom B320 rom, during the process i see the android encription screen...........anyway the rom works fine and after that i flash Kangvip slim 331v2 rom and i see some mount error mesages like "failed to mount /data invalid argument".....but the rom works very well.

My problem is that now i cant format data and the wypes are eternals, some xda friends tell me to flash ajsmsg78 insecure boot image and after that try to format and wype...

The question is:Can i flash any insecure boot image?or it must be B320 or B331 insecure image?

Thanks.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] Leo_83:
Interesting so you wouldn't need to do a factory reset each time.

Hmm well as you know I flashed the latest B320 stock rom the other day and I flashed full zip and SuperSU without decrypted boot.img and root access is working fine. Not taking away your experience just letting you know what I have experienced.

Hmm so what is the latest kernel dated to?

Here is a screenshot of my current setup

Sent from my NEXT
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] jbmc83:
thats not quite correct, factory reset / wipe doesnt affect ur data partition. its just that with each stock rom flash the data partition is encrypted, so u cannot access it through twrp without formatting it first. flashing the decrypted boot image avoids that.

looks like ure on the newest kernel :) ive seen once dated may 21st in another B320 rom with different cust, but it was the same version...

[Mate 8 Original Android Development] jbmc83:
the insecure boot image is exactly there to avoid having to format the data partition ^^ but in case its locked right after flashing twrp, then ull naturally have to format data before flashing anything, otherwise u dont have access to ur files ;)

following that, i usually flash the firmware, followed by decrypted boot image and supersu all in one swoop without reboot. once everything is flashed, only then do i reboot the device.

[Mate 8 Original Android Development] jbmc83:
nope, that has changed. no matter what phone u have, if u want it decrypted ull have to flash a modified boot image.

im gonna repeat it again: it doesnt make sense yet to post decrypted kernels for nougat firmwares.

following reason:

- there are like 20 different firmware versions available and still more coming out, which one to choose?! i dont think OP wants to do 5 boot images a day every day. besides, since most of the firmwares sport identical version numbers, it would be impossible to tell them apart.

- many if not all prebeta firmwares have tons of bugs, are laggy, are missing functions like bluetooth, dual sim, etc

so just be patient guys! wait for stable releases and then it will make sense to publish modified boot images!!!

is it possible to have b200 insecure boot.img?
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] djtetei:
Is it possible to encrypt your data anymore?

If we flash an insecure boot image that will not enforce encryption on internal storage in order install supersu, will it be possible after supersu installation to encrypt our internal storage anymore or it will remain unencrypted?

This is a matter of data security, because if we can not activate encryption anymore our data will be vulnerable.

In this case I suppose that after the phone is rooted we should reflash the original boot image.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] djtetei:
If we want to install supersu from an external SD card via twrp, do we still need to flash a patched boot image?

It seems that the patched boot image is required only if we intend to install custom ROMs.

If we just want to remain on stock ROM and have root privileges we do not need to flash a patched boot image.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] ajsmsg78:
If you flash the decrypted boot.img and you're already decrypted then you'll stay decrypted. If you want to encrypt your internal storage, back it up then flash a stock boot.img without flashing SuperSU.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] djtetei:
So, if I want to retain data encryption, I can skip flashing the patched boot image.

Then I only have to do this:

- Flash twrp recovery image in fastboot mode

- put supersu.zip on external sd card

- reboot to twrp recovery

- install supersu.zip from external sd card via twrp
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] ajsmsg78:
The problem is if your internal storage is encrypted then TWRP can not see your internal storage. So you'll have to format your data before twrp can see it. Once you do this your data won't be encrypted any more unless you go back to a stock rom or flash the stock boot.img. The key is to keep your data unencrypted so you'll never have to wipe it. By flashing the modded boot.img instead of the stock one you'll stay unencrypted.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] djtetei:
My goal here is to root the phone but not lose the internal data encryption.

I do not intend to install custom firmwares on the phone. I just want to have root in order to install and use apps that require root access.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] ajsmsg78:
OK, so install SuperSU in TWRP and don't flash the modified boot.img.
[Mate 8 Original Android Development] djtetei:
Thank you kindly for your assistance!

Here's another issue:

If I retain internal data encryption, will twrp be able to make any backup? I guess not!

So, in this scenario twrp recovery is useless if you want to backup an encrypted device.

The only option will be to reflash the stock recovery in order to make a backup.

But, if i keep the stock boot image (which enforce encryption) and flash modaco's twrp will i be able to backup the phone partitions?

I suppose that twrp will decrypt the data, do the backup in decrypted state and then restore the backup in decrypted state. Then after phone reboots, the stock boot image will encrypt the restored data back again. Right?
